Bristol City FC fan. With the UK in Lockdown and no matches in BS3 (or on the road) to attend, tweeting began mostly on various things BCFC to jog our memories.

1985/1986 season -
The great Keith Waugh for Bristol City at 41st equal out of 95.
Ex City keeper John Shaw (who had by then moved onto Exeter) just behind Keith in the list.

The great Josh Brownhill joined Bristol City on this day in 2016 staying with The Robins until January 2020
Winning City goals in local derby games are special-this one from Josh will always live long in the memory

So I was bored and decided to use a very simple prompt to make a new club badge for #BristolCity just to see what AI would deliver. It's a sad day when, in my opinion, AI makes a better badge than the actual club badge.

Very interesting read here from a lifelong Lincoln City fan on Skubala’s successful style of play.
Set up to lure opposition teams in, win possession & then launch quickfire raids utilising a pacey forward line … Also a great use of set-pieces …

Two good old sayings -
3rd time around can bring good fortune.
Always try to find a smile.
‘Hi Roy, it’s Charlie at Bristol City. If you are free can you come back please.’

Had a little chat with Yu Hirakawa, and he’d quite fancy staying at Hull City beyond the summer. Believe Bristol City wouldn’t stand in his way of a Premier League move. #hcafc

Former Sunderland and Bristol City boss Lee Johnson has guided Lommel SK back to the Belgian top-flight after a 3-2 aggregate win over Dender in the play-offs. Huge achievement for Johnson and Lommel SK who are part of the City Football Groupz

And Dean Holden as their assistant Head Coach this season.
As Hull make it to the Premier League for the 3rd time in the Lansdown era they largely have one of our players to thank for it.
It feels worse that we loaned rather than sold Yu as he'll not be bought by them this summer now will he?

As the legendary Jimmy Greaves would have said on Saint & Greavsie to co-presenter Ian St John - "Unbelievable, Saint".

From his days as a player, Elphick featured in a street mural in Bournemouth which also included breakdance crew Second to None.
[Bristol City fans - this artwork was in the Lansdown(e) area of the town.]

Has to be one of the best uses of £40,000 ever spent by Bristol City when they signed the great Norman Hunter in October 1976. [£40,000 in 1976 would today be in the region of £400,000.]
